Scorp- I think you're selling short a number of entities.
One is

. There has been an unofficial event within an hours drive of Milwaukee atleast 2 times in the last year, both social in nature.
Another is your local clubs. You want company and to make friends, yet you worry if they drive Jeeps. Get over the brand ego and make friends. Perhaps you can convince them that Jeeps are
better than 1 Ton Chevys
You want an "event"? Then plan it. Plan the location, the meals (Eat out, pot luck....), and plan the activity (M&G, wrenching...)
Lastly, I will address the attitude that one can hang here and not get occasionally hassled for not being a
member of

. This forum is here so you can come, kick the tires and see if you want to join the club. You have been here a while now and know that some of us will needle you to pony up. There are benifits to belonging to

besides the sticker and your name in Red. You become a
member of
UFWDA and get the United Voice. You get a

Newsletter. You are allowed to attend Official

Events without having to be someone's Guest. You are allowed say in how the Club runs and allowed to Vote , to Voice your Opinion in the Members Forum and to make motions. You could do worse than to Join

.
As a Forum
User, you are getting
exactly what you are putting in.
